Another friend bought a colouring book to use when she had urges - just something to distract her.

Tell yourself, "It can wait 5 minutes." At the end of that time you will usually find that you don't REALLY want one. That will hold you until the next alarm goes off in your head. Then, do it again. You can do this, and it will give you more money for FABRIC!Deannahttp://weddingdressblue.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6222010192421604268.post-67703881421062370892019-01-03T00:23:56.135-05:002019-01-03T00:23:56.135-05:00Congratulations!

For a while there, I was popping them in my mouth like they were M&Ms! HA! Cheers to you...you can do this!

I ate a ton of mints, chewed endless gum, gained some weight (boo) but I did it! And you can too! Looking forward to some Harry Potter sewing! I’m not sure if I’ll keep up, but it’ll be fun trying! :) Mozangohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04262884596418471537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6222010192421604268.post-30648689372281935222019-01-02T11:42:36.161-05:002019-01-02T11:42:36.161-05:00Good for you, Lorna!

Yes, it is ...Good luck on your no-smoking journey! Yes, it is a journey. I quit almost 20 years ago but had moments when I craved a cigarette for many years after. My key to success was to find something to do when the cravings hit. Exercise, sew, cook... anything that requires concentration on something else. Shake up your daily routine because there are times you will just habitually reach for a smoke and you don't want that reminder. I even took a different route driving to work. I found that there were certain points in my 1 hour drive where I always smoked so it was either change the route or eat instead of smoke. I am overweight enough that eating wasn't an option. <br />Looking forward to HP in the new year! :-) Elizahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594444899841430713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6222010192421604268.post-23068324142601934062019-01-02T09:35:27.911-05:002019-01-02T09:35:27.911-05:00I quit for the second time a little over two years...I quit for the second time a little over two years ago. It's not easy, but it does get easier in time. I promise!! The last time I quit I had been smoke free for 6 years. This last time I quit was much harder and that is one way I keep myself from being tempted to start again. I used Chantix and it was a huge help. It's not for everyone, but it was what I needed. You can do this and if you need support, I am only an email away!
